2. During hotlaps, they were looking for the 21K of Krockenberger. I heard over my scanner some track worked say that the owner threw him our for sparying him with dirt during wheel packing. I assume the track worker meant DA when he said the owner. Sure enough the 21k hauler left a little later .

I recieved phone call eariler today from Shawn Krockenberger wanting me to relay what he said the true story is that he was not kicked out for spraying mud at DA or anyone at all. Shawn said he was not going to pack the track in all day and burn up all his fuel because they keep over watering the track each week expecially as high is racing fuel is now, so he didn't stay out there very long and so he pulled off the track and then he said that DA came back to his pit and they had a discussion and without going into all the details of it end result was Kevin one of Shawn's helpers was kicked out then Shawn said that he was not going to support DA anymore after the way that he and his crew was treated so he loaded up and left on his own free will.
Shawn, I hope I did get it all correct its been a few hours since you called me and I had a few other calls since then. These guys have been nice and helpful to me through out the years and I will miss racing with them. So good luck to you guys.
I do agree with Shawn I hate wheel packing because it takes so long and wastes so much fuel and we come to the track each night with our cars prepared to race with everything greased and lubed up for better performance and then end up looking like we went Mudd Bog racing before we even have hot laps.expecially when I am on a less than shoestring budget.
I do have to say that the track conditions have been better when it comes to race time this year and we have only had to pack the track twice this season so things as of racing conditions are much better. and hole hole in turn one was gone this week as Roger Hughes said on Racin with D.O. show that they dug up the track in turn one and repaired it.
So don't anyone cast any stones at me because I was just relaying the message to set the record straight by the 21k of Shawn Krockenberger himself.
